What is this ?
CardMelee is a mode for 3 to 6 players, based on Melee (really ?^^), but with cards that define your weapon, ammos and different powers.
By default, a game of CardMelee is 3 rounds of 4 minutes. At the beginning of each round, players pick cards to get weapon and other bonus (it's called the draft).
Here is a screen during the draft (note that this screen is not very actual because now there can be until 6 players) :

If you are not familiar with card games, you may not understand what is “draftâ€. Basically, it’s : each player receives a number of cards and chooses one among them. Then he passes the non-chosen cards to the next player (at his left for exemple) and receives the non-chosen cards of the previous player (at his right). This until each player has a certain number of cards. I hope this is clear, otherwise the best is to try, it is very simple^^.
After the draft, the melee takes place with a particular rule : if you hit a player with more points than you, you get 2 points, otherwise, you get 1 point. This rules makes closer games, with more possibilities to come back if you had a bad round.
At the end of the round, you can choose a card among your non-weapon cards you will keep for the next round. Then the next round begins with the draft.
And at the end of the 3rd round, the player with more points wins the map.

Some infos and tips :
About the title :
- This gamemode is designed for 3 to 6 players, in order that the draft be clear (better visibility for read cards) and that it not be the big bazaar during the melee. It's working with 2 players but less fun.
- Originally, it was created to play in local network when the ping was too bad to play online
About the gamemode :
- You can't have several weapons. During the draft, If you choose a second weapon, it replaces the first.
- If you don't choose a weapon during the draft, you will have Rocket with only two ammo.
- If you disconnect and reconnect, you will loose all your cards for the round (so you will have Rocket with two ammo).
- If you are alone on the server and a second player comes, a restart will be done to launch the draft.
